    When I bought this the tag said "Starship Enterprise"
    this looks nothing like the Enterprise I saw on line :-? I like it, and will keep it. Does anyone know the name?? Doesn't really matter anyway, I know I'd forget it in no time :rolleyes:

    Definitely not Starship Enterprise. There's no way to know for sure what you have, but it could be:

    Kind Hearted

    Lovely iris, and I am sort of glad it's not the Starship Enterprise. :D The name doesn't fit it at all.

    An iris-maniac-in-the-making, I like that a lot. :D Pondlady, your collection of Iris are amazing.

    I wish I had gotten to the other garden open house -lady with all the Asian. She had just as many Iris. But wasn't blooming when we was there.But I love the colors of yours.

    It is beautiful no matter what its name is...if you can't decide for sure, you can name it after yourself.

    What a striking flower, Stratsmom. The delicasy of those colours and the ruffly contour of the petal edges--it makes for a smashing overall effect.

    I guess when you have something that looks as good as that, it doesn't matter what the name is.
    Having said this, I would be just curious enough to want to find out. :)
